Interview
I actually loved talking to the recruiter. I didn’t know much about Confluent and was a little scared off by the Glassdoor and Repvue reviews but she got me interested. It’s too bad the hiring manager spent the next round laughing and bragging about how hard he is to his SDRs and how his team is the best team, all the while not being able to answer questions around how many people are attaining quota. At the end of the interview he gave me an assignment to send him a message on LinkedIn with a few various things about Confluent. He responded asking if I had used ChatGPT. The guy was a giant red flag and completely put me off from wanting to work there.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Confluent (Houston, TX) in Oct 2023
Interview
4 Round behavioral. Articulate knowledge of tech and sales experience. Write up a cold email to a potential prospect. Meet with recruiter and sdr manager. Must answer well and confidently
Talked to a company wide recruiter, then a team specific recruiter. Then a sales leader and two managers. People expressed a stressful environment. It took about a month to have all the conversations and felt somewhat disorganized. Was given lots of product prep that wasn't referenced in the interviews. Managers are managing time zone based teams but not necessarily where they are located, and its not clear in beginning who will be your manager. Sdr mgmt just seems like a generic sales career stepping stone for some managers. Seems like a hectic org.
